Using the fan, heater

How many ways do you intend to ask the same question? No matter how many times you ask it or how many emotes you use or how much you wish it wasn't so the truth does not change. Energy is not free except in your imaginary world of serpentine belts in perpetual motion.

Let's figure that I always remember to go before I go, for the next 30 years...

That's not a bad idea at all. In fact it's the only sound idea I've ever seen you come up with. Though I think most people already do this as no one likes to travel while holding it.


It has become quite clear over the last week or so that you are not in this thread to learn or to contribute, but only to taunt others. I encourage you to find more effective ways to spend your time and energy.

You're the numbers geek, so prove it. Saying that energy isn't free and that using headights or the wipers will somehow cause the engine to burn more fuel doesn't mean a thing unless you've got the numbers to prove it. Show me where running the fan on speed 3 burns more fuel than speed 2.

Yeah, 30-40 years from now I might have a whole extra $ or 2 to go crazy with.

NO, I'm here to see the proof behind your honking the horn just stole a little bit of fuel from the gas tank theories.

Maybe it's because you think using the A/C burns fuel because the clutch circuit is hot, but that's not the reason. It's the extra LOAD on the engine because an engaged compressor is harder to spin than a free-wheeling bearing (like when clutch isn't engaged).
